There are some interesting angles to the Kansas program this year. The most interesting will be how well Charlie Weis does as the new coach. He brings NFL defensive coordinator, Dave Campo, to Kansas in that same role, and I'm extremely interested to see how an NFL-trained coach does in a new college role. A third point of interest in following a Jayhawk team that was absolutely horrible last year is the possible insertion of Crist at QB. Crist transferred from Notre Dame, where he started 10 games, and entered the Irish program as the #5 rated QB from his HS class.
All that being written, these new additions to the program will likely be in for a very tough year. The bad '11 offense returns only 6 starters, the horrific defense returns 7 starters(worst "D" in FBS last year?), and it's hard to find one starter on either side of the line who could be a standout contributor. It's incomprehensible that a team that gave up 43 points per game, 5.8 yards per carry and almost a 70% completion rate in '11 can do much to avoid getting its butt kicked in '12.
It'll be a tough year for NFLers Weis and Campo.
